    Boxrec will put him in position 1 if he wins the tourney and moves up after.

    lol Usyk would kill Wilder right now. Joshua on the other hand is the big fight and I think Usyk still needs a few years before taking that task on

    If that were the case he would have lost by now. Show me a C level fighter who has a record like Wilders??

    Stiverne, Washington, if he was C level they would have neaten him. Who would beat a Wilder right now in the HW division?

    Other than AJ, there is no one who could beat him for me.

    He would do well up until a point. Size does matter. Like he isn't going to beat AJ, no matter how much technically better he is

    DING DING.........BAM, BOP, POW...........9, 10........WAKE UP OLEK!!! LOL
    All jokes aside. His conditioning would need to be on point. He certainly has the boxing ability to run circles around the bigger guys, but a lot of fans hate that type of style (just ask Mayweather). He may have enough pop to hurt Wilder, but can he get close enough to hit and get out without getting tagged himself. Also he would need to sit down on his punches to generate the necessary power to hurt the bigger guys, which is dangerous. At the very least, he would get much respect from me and it would be very interesting to watch. I most definitely would be rooting for the smaller man.

    He would probably unify the titles, since the other men are all big and relatively slow. Usik vs Wilder would be a 50-50 fight, though.

    Stiverne is C level himself, Washington is a bum. As for HWs who would beat Wilder; Joshua, Povetkin, Pulev and Ortiz. Tyson Fury if he were to come out retirement. HW is extremely shallow

    Two of them cheated their way out of a shot and Pulev is gunna sparked into retirement in a couple of months.
